St Silas vs Bridge

This top of the table clash was played in Easterhouse, Glasgow on possibly the MOST windy day EVER!!! After a hard fought match, against the weather, it finished 4-3 to Silas!

Bridge took the lead when they caught Silas on the counter attack, the attacker finished well with a flick past Derick. Alan Dock got one back when a defend and goalkeeper both left his tame shot for the other. Alan then got a second before half time with a free kick, first free kick we've scored in ages!!


In the second half John scored to make it 3-1 before Bridge pulled it back to 3-2 with some great wing play and good finish. Then a Silas defender mis-judged a back pass which let an attack in on goal: 3-3. As the game went on both teams looked for a winner but it was Frank (in typical Frank style) who got it; after some slick play his volley/half volley from the edge of the box went straight into the bottom corner, 4-3 and that's how it stayed!


Alan Dock got MoM which is about time as his play on the left wing is just magnificent. I do feel that some of the players in our team are too good for this level and Alan is definitely one of those! This win now put Silas 12 points ahead of Bridge (if they win there games in hand) and means that just three more wins in the next six games will guarantee we are Champions!


Next week we are playing in the cup, though sadly we have a few key players missing but, hey, its all good!
